According to the head of the ministry, the majority of foreign tourists came from Italy, Germany and France, where the ministry in Bucharest conducted several tourism campaigns about the natural beauties of Romania. He emphasized: the most important thing is that the campaigns are effective, so the country will be promoted as a tourist destination in Great Britain in the future.

Referring to recent data from the National Institute of Statistics (INS), the minister responsible for the economy, enterprises and tourism said that the number of guest nights in May also increased by 8 percent compared to the same period last year.
